Valve initiated its latest Steam Summer Sale today, and a cursory glance at the Steam Database list of discounted games suggests that developers are slapping discounts of 80 percent or more on roughly 175 titles.

That number is closer to 250 if you count DLC, and includes recent releases -- the first episode of Steam Greenlit horror game Coma: Mortuary is being sold for a tenth of its full price, for example, despite only being released last month.

Developers, take note: for better or worse, the number of games being sold at a deep discount and the rate they're discounted at seem to be increasing as the digital games market grows accustomed to regular sales.
